Sharing files accross users

Ok, so my girlfriend uses my laptop and I have an account for her. Today she ripped a movie into her movie folder. But I couldn't see it from my account without messing with the permissions in the folder options. Then it wouldn't show up in her login. Is there a way for both of us to see the file in her login?

I put it in the shared user folder, but it could not be accessed by me because under the folder prefs I did not have any permissions (because it was created in her login, I guess) So I changed the permissions to me and hit "apply to all enclosed items" and placed it in my movie folder. I open it and it shows nothing despite showing 7 gigs as the file space amount. What gives?
